Just thought this might be fun and quick way to read quick takes people had on popular conspiracies.
Vaccines
I think it is likely that vaccines cause autism in a very small amount of people, like less than 2%, however the government covers this up as much as possible not for any nefarious reason, but to prevent the masses for opting out and causing much dire consequences with the influx of deadly diseases.
Global Warming This one is one of the absolute dumbest. Literally every commercial pilot (especially ones that fly to multiple continents), and every government who has a space program, would have to be in on it.

Illuminati/NWO
I don’t think there is one unified source pulling the scene behind the world’s major actions. I think there are multiple organizations all vying for their own interests and that a lot of events blamed on the NWO or the illuminati are actually a variety of entities.
During the Civil War (1861-1865), President Lincoln needed money to finance the War from the North. The Bankers were going to charge him 24% to 36% interest. Lincoln was horrified and went away greatly distressed, for he was a man of principle and would not think of plunging his beloved country into a debt that the country would find impossible to pay back.
Eventually President Lincoln was advised to get Congress to pass a law authorizing the printing of full legal tender Treasury notes to pay for the War effort. Lincoln recognized the great benefits of this issue. At one point he wrote:
"(we) gave the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they have ever had – their own paper money to pay their own debts..."
The Treasury notes were printed with green ink on the back, so the people called them "Greenbacks".
Lincoln printed 400 million dollars worth of Greenbacks (the exact amount being $449,338,902), money that he delegated to be created, a debt-free and interest-free money to finance the War. It served as legal tender for all debts, public and private. He printed it, paid it to the soldiers, to the U.S. Civil Service employees, and bought supplies for war.
Shortly after that happened, The London Times printed the following: "If that mischievous financial policy, which had its origin in the North American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without a debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe."
Just a friendly post -- I see 'global warming' twice in the OP, but I think the second one reads more like it should be titled 'chemtrails'.

I wish people would shut up about "Chemtrails."

Not only would impossible numbers of people need to keep this whole infrastructure secret, but whatever they were doing to the atmosphere would be influencing every person on the planet, including anyone who was orchestrating the conspiracy.

Unless they can convince me that there's a secret group of behind-the-scenes influencers who never leave their hermetically sealed underground bunker, I can't rationalize this conspiracy at all.
